You think there are no tools to deal with them if they do? Who's the clueless here? And yes, please give me unmitigated damage while in cover as charges don't bother me even on my alts.

How about a tradeoff then, hmm? We lose charge protection but gain 100% armor and defense/shield/deflect penetration while in cover.

WoW mentality... how sad. On my server average empire team has at least 4 healers. More healers? Sit the **** down.

Got leavers, stat padders and derps in your WZ now? Multiply that by 10. That's how it will be different.

Indeed. Can't wait for stats to be implemented. Can throw strategy out the window then and have just random zerging, K/D ratio farming, ignoring objectives and leaving WZ en-masse. Seen it in other games, not impressed...

Nerfed long time ago. PvP reward balance? Perish the thought.

Compare, say, commando knockback to gunslinger knockback (start out of cover). I know for sure which one goes off first. Do you also think Dirty Kick can be used without stopping for animation? And no, I don't like sniper class at all... thats why I have TWO of them. *rolls eyes*

Pipe down, kid. This is not my opinion, I'm demonstrating why some people can get frustrated with this mechanic. Judging by your responce though you are either sorc or rocket *******.

No real cover benefits - check. Roots prevent cover - check. Wastes whole global cooldown - check. Zero mobility - check. What's not to hate?

This class requires you to play really well to be effective. And you can't get any healing or protection medals which means you will gain rank and gear even slower than all other classes.

Do you have ANY idea how sniper class works? And that's just one example.

There's no "mass damage" out of cover. You're thinking about OPs. And removing auto turn will require complete class overhaul (all classes) and that's just not gonna happen.

Really? So I have to get out of cover, then get in cover, then out of cover, then in cover again? Amazing PvP ideas you have there.

Care to explain how to turn in cover?

Indeed. Also, good OPs don't come here to whine about upcoming adjustment. They adapt and overcome.

Add Pulse Detonator to the list. Have to hit the button over 20 times before it activates. Edit: typo

AOE stun on 45 sec. cooldown with 30m range, ranged root, execute-type ability with 40m range (mine crits for ~3200). I can't count how many times I downed huttball carrier a few steps away from our goal line. AOE grenade (hits 5 targets) with 3 sec cooldown and 30m range is great for mass interrupting in Alderaan or Voidstar. If you can get XS Flyby off it effectively prevents point capping for a while (12 sec duration, 2 sec activation). If your team sucks and/or other team is well-organized, you won't be able to use these effectively, if at all. You can't help your team when you're dead and without support you will die a lot.

Can you heal, guard, run huttball, solo protect nodes against even-geared teams of people with a brain?

Sniper is team support class. It makes good teams even better and bad teams even worse. 1 vs 1 requires really good play on your part or opposition to be undergeared/slow/stupid. Besides, a lot of abilities are simply broken and don't activate when you hit the button (~20 sec to activate Cover Pulse? Come on...) So, unless you really like sniper playstyle, stay away from this class.

They are simply broken, just like a lot of codex entries. I did all planets up to Corellia and each of them is missing at least 3-5 codex entries.

If they kill you then go to your nearby city, wipe out all the guards and NPC and keep killing you as you spawn over and over for hours then yes, they should be banned. But you knew that already. Your entire post is just a pointless trolling attempt. Next time be more subtle. Edit: typo

Care to explain how you "coordinate better" when your team has 5 players and other has 8?

Where is the PVP passion, you ask? I just finished a game where I was the only 50 and entire other team was in full battlemaster gear. Explain to me why I should stick around and get farmed instead of letting this joke of WZ close due to lack of players? Oh yes, I am greedy and egoistical to want a level playing field. Having fun in PVP? Preposterous notion... you should be fodder for valor point farmers. And before you start ranting about WOW, etc... I enjoyed PVP in UO immensely and never left. What I see in WZ here every day is bull frikkin' horse*****.

And a lot of people did... by rerolling. Have fun waiting a week to do Ilum dailies and playing endless Huttball.

Old school UO player here. I PvP to PvP. You won't like it here on Hidden Beks I think. We have massive rank and premade imbalance as well as bad R:E ratio but objective play is not one of our problems. Besides, this is PvE server. Easy to find PvP here when I want to but it's good to actually play the game when I have limited time instead of being camped by a group of PvP rank capped s©umbags.
